Bitcoin as a course or any related currency on web. In my country we have multiple courses in computer especially programing and web developments. My course is also information technology, but i've never heard or learn about online currency as bitcoin. In present, and future studies is there any chances for inserting about it in education. In your country is it available? It would be better for any country to adopt bitcoin in educating new generations. Instead of playing games and wasting money in surfing xxx sites.
I disagree because bitcoin would not be a course. I guess bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will just be studied more by other people. They are also going to be curious if how this tokens are made and what are the things we needed in able to make one. But maybe it could happen in the near future, that bitcoin would be a course but ofcourse the goverment should accept first bitcoin inside the country in order to make this things happen. Tokens are a waste of time as it shows the founders have negative intentions most of the time since they're being greedy. Most people are greedy I guess because ICOs still exist. It won't end well for tokens, but BTC will have continued to innovate.

How do you currently store your coins
Nowadays, they can be safely stored for days or weeks just by spending them. For now i keep bitcoin using etherwallet and i think it will safe to store my coin their, so i trust them for now to storing my coins. Soon i will get that coin to save it to the bank for the future purpose. For safety of my coins I was put it into trading sites then some of my bitcoin was in my wallet. Moreover I use multiple wallet to assure the security of my coins. I think it is better idea to keep my bitcoin safe. I use cold storage and multiple devices with my seed stored in different locations with half written in either place. I also memorize them just to be sure.

I save my bitcoin in online wallet with a very powerful and reliable security system. I suggest you also have to choose a wallet that is completely reliable to keep your bitcoin
I store mine in several phones and save the seed in several places. I write half the seed down and the other half on another piece of paper and give copies to trusted peers.

Is it possible to do government-backed currency mirroring on blockchain, so that it will at some point be possible to trade with USD on blockchain?
Absolutely it's possible and it's called DLT or private blockchains. Some countries have already created their own cryptocurrencies, but they will never have the security Bitcoin has.

Bitcoin is already above $4000 and it even reached the $5000 price value but quickly drop and returned to $4000 due the a large sell-off of traders. In this past 2 years bitcoin has been insanely increasing with its crazy price leap in price value surpassing one of the trusted long term investment gold. It seems that people has notice bitcoin and its potential growth in the future, bitcoin has grown so much over the past years now it is one of the supported payment for online and offline business even institutional investors invested millions in bitcoin so bitcoin has fully mature from volatility.
Yes. Many people have realized Bitcoin's true potential as a store of value and have invested massively into it, resulting into a huge uptrend in price lately. However, these days the value of the pioneer cryptocurrency has been on constant decline, due to negative news all over mainstream media. Even though China's ICO ban and JPMorgan's CEO comments had a great influence over its price, it may be only temporary as it heads all the way to the moon in the future. Big banks and governments have been afraid of Bitcoin's growth over the course of the year, trying to make anything within their power to stop it. But despite everything, I believe that this moment is a huge opportunity to buy Bitcoin as its price may jump back to its original levels, and head to new all time highs. Let's hope and see with the upcoming Bitcoin improvements, to help a positive effect over its value for the long term. For now, only time will tell what lies ahead for Bitcoin in the upcoming years. Just my opinion Your opinion is totally correct! This is the most perfect answer I have come across for an explanation of current events all week. Well said, well said:)

If you own enough Bitcoin you definitely would not need a job because the money would continue to grow faster than any job ever could help it.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Question about software | CPU mining problem
|
on: March 19, 2017, 12:46:04 PM

No, I'm pretty sure this can't happen.
Generally since they're EXE files and have a lot of power over your computer antiviruses won't like them.
But I didn't realise that there were antiviruses that just flat out stop you from doing things if you want to, can't you allow it somehow?
My Norton, it's legal license, does not accepting it anyhow. Only when I disable it. Also,on my other PC's there is Microsoft's AV and it is the same. Have to turn it off and then it works.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Question about software | CPU mining problem
|
on: March 19, 2017, 12:30:43 PM

I am mining alt coins a long time. Now I have 4 PC's and on every PC I have antivirus software. Problem I have is: any CPU mining software I try to use is being recognized as a virus or trojan and it cannot mine if I don't disable my AV. So I need to know if there is any software that I can use without disabling my AV? Currently I am mining Monero (XMR) and I tried miner by W0lf, miner by LucasJones and miner from Minergate. All 3 are recognized as trojans or virus software, so I can't mine. Any alternative? As I don't want to disable my AV every time I start mining. Last time I did, I had an intrusion even my firewall was ON.

Are there advertisers working like Adsense? Are there adsense alternative companies that make payouts as bitcoins? I want to make a profit from my ad revenue that I add to my site.
Which companies are reliable and make payments on time?
Mellow ads, bitmedia both are legit site, but you must have a good Alexa rank for your site. It will be impacting about your revenue. But bitmedia is more preferring for my personally. Alexa will not help here a lot. Think about MOZ ranking.

$25/Monthly
Can't you make a dozen of VPS's and sell cheap? For example, you can split one server with VM on 4 or even 8 VPS and sell them like $4 monthly. I used once a VPS (a VM) for a month for $4 and it was working nice, and it was like 2 core 2GB memory and 100GB hard drive. It's just an suggestion, as many ask for cheap.

Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2014-03-13] CD: Bank of England: Digital Currencies are Similar to Commodities
|
on: March 13, 2014, 09:33:15 PM

If you read the actual report, you'll see that's exactly (a part of) what they said: A further category of innovations is digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ripple. The key difference between these and local currencies is that the exchange rate between digital currencies and other currencies is not fixed. Digital currencies are not at present widely used as a medium of exchange. Instead, their popularity largely derives from their ability to serve as an asset class. As such they may have more conceptual similarities to commodities, such as gold, than money. Digital currencies also differ from the other technologies discussed so far in this box because they can be created out of nothing, albeit at pre-determined rates. In contrast, local currencies come into circulation only when exchanged for pounds sterling. While the amount of money held in e-money accounts or local currencies depends entirely on demand, the supply of digital currencies is typically limited.
This paragraph is the only mention of digital currencies in the 10-page "introduction to money".

If you want to convince people of fairness, the simplest thing would be to point to a number outside of your control and use that as the decider, e.g. the Xth digit of the price of Y at time Z decides the winner. That. An even better seed would be the hash of the bitcoin block at a predetermined height in future. The technique proposed by BCmale is inherently insecure and is not appropriate for the crypto community.
